March in support of Limerick man threatened with eviction

Around 200 people have marched on City Hall this afternoon in support of a Limerick man who's threatened with eviction.

26-year-old Patrick Collopy who is living in Bishop Street, has been told by Limerick City Council that he will be kicked out of the home he shared with his mother Rita until her death last year.

Patrick moved into the house to care for his mother in 2012 and took over the payment of the rent, however following her death he received a phone call from the council telling him that he must vacate the house on the grounds of the two-year tenancy rule.
